Instead of changing nameservers of domain lets say abc.com point the A record in your domain panel to your hosting provider and o redirection is required

Any redirect will definitely affect your seo ranking

All one needs to do is to create an A record in their DNS to point a registered domain to a web binding at a host.

301 and 302 redirects would infer pointing the register's URI to a web hosting service then redirecting the traffic to an entirely new web hosting service.

To answer your question about SEO / speed, you're essentially doubling your First-Packet response time and including two DNS lookups by redirecting the first domain to the second one...not a good idea.

301 and 302 redirects should only be used to redirect old URI traffic to a new source location on the same web host once the site is already established. An example would be if you moved a popular article from example.com?popular=thing to example.com/popular/thing so one does not lose the old traffic and backlinks from other sites.
